Dreams Lyrics

Oh I, I believe in magic and I believe in dreams
Until I heard the thunder rumble
I saw the mountains crumble -
Then came the circus so I followed it’s parade

With all the fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers
Ravers of every kind
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams
all in my dreams
Sodom and Gomorrah
I see you’re back in town.
And though you build a wall around you
The multitude still found you
Just like a circus to start with a parade
Oh but a parade of the

Fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers
Ravers of every kind
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams
all in my dreams
Now I can see the whole world is just a circus
And I can tell that the circus why it’s just hell
And then I heard a drummer rolling
I found my seat’s been stolen
Then a spotlight hit me going wild in center ring for all you

Fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers
Ravers of every kind
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams
all in my dreams

My dreams my dreams
Well I, I believe in magic and I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic and I, I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic, I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams, magic, magical dreams
I wanted to sing that I believe in dreams
Magical dreams, oh I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic, I still believe in dreams

Oh I, I believe in magic and I believe in dreams 
Until I heard the thunder rumble 
I saw the mountains crumble - 
Then came the circus so I followed it’s parade

With all the fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers 
Ravers of every kind 
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches 
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams 
all in my dreams 
Sodom and Gomorrah 
I see you’re back in town. 
And though you build a wall around you 
The multitude still found you 
Just like a circus to start with a parade 
Oh but a parade of the

Fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers 
Ravers of every kind 
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches 
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams 
all in my dreams 
Now I can see the whole world is just a circus 
And I can tell that the circus why it’s just hell 
And then I heard a drummer rolling 
I found my seat’s been stolen 
Then a spotlight hit me going wild in center ring for all you

Fancy lion tamers, high-wire fiery flamers 
Ravers of every kind 
I saw those high-stepping sexy witches 
Sons of satin, sons of bitches - all were there in my dreams 
all in my dreams

My dreams my dreams 
Well I, I believe in magic and I believe in dreams 
I said I, I believe in magic and I, I believe in dreams 
I believe in dreams 
I said I, I believe in magic, I believe in dreams 
I believe in dreams, magic, magical dreams 
I wanted to sing that I believe in dreams 
Magical dreams, oh I believe in dreams 
I said I, I believe in magic, I still believe in dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is probably one of the most beautiful ones i've ever heard. Grace Slick has the voice of an angel.

I think the song is about someone who has believed in dreams and magic for quite some time, until he/she saw the power of the world around her "mountains crumble, thunder rumble" then she realized that the world is, in it's own right, "magical." Seeing all of these amazing sights and people in her dreams, she realizes the power of the earth around her to be equal to and greater than that which she could imagine.

Grace Slick is amazing!
